                        APCOA/STANDARD PARKING COMPLETES
                       EXCHANGE OFFER AND RECAPITALIZATION

CHICAGO, IL, January 14, 2002: APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. ("APCOA/Standard
Parking") announced today that it has completed an unregistered exchange offer
with holders of its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 ("9
1/4% Notes"). APCOA/Standard Parking received gross proceeds of $20.0 million
and retired approximately $91.1 million of its outstanding 9 1/4% Notes, while
issuing $59,285,000 of its new 14% Senior Subordinated Second Lien Notes due
2006 and 3,500 shares of its 18% Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.

APCOA/Standard Parking intends to use the $20.0 million of cash proceeds to,
among other things, increase liquidity, deleverage its balance sheet, pay fees
and expenses related to the exchange offer and reduce its cash interest expense.

The securities issued in the exchange offer were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

APCOA/Standard Parking has approximately 13,700 employees and manages more than
1,950 airport and urban parking facilities in over 260 cities spanning 43 states
and three Canadian provinces.
